I am working on Spatial data analysis for local policy review now. Now,GIS is mainly used in naural resource, survey and land managementareas. There are some applications in crime analysis and education.What I am doing is point analysis, neighbourhood analysis. Myunderstanding is currently lot of applications are limited indisplaying data instead of data analysis.

请教jerry:

你做Spatial data analysis 都主要是用什么计量软件呢，这方面的数据处理和计量分析难易程度如何。现在我对空间计量方面的内容比较感兴趣，希望您能多多赐教！

是spacestat么？

splus可以么？

谢谢！

可以用GAUSS软件。

I use R.
About 这方面的数据处理和计量分析难易程度如何, it depends on..... what you want to know.
